The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all preterm infants are assessed for cardiorespiratory stability in their car seat before discharge: the "car seat chall...
متن کاملComparison of Infant Car Seat grip orientations and lift strategies.
The rear-facing Infant Car Seat (ICS) is designed to meet federal requirements for transporting children less than 1 year old.

This study was designed to assess the influence of an infant car seat loan program on car seat utilization in a low-income community. An adjacent community, with no car seat program, was chosen for comparison. Systematic observations were made in the two neighborhoods, and this information was supplemented by telephone interviews. Greater use of infant seats was observed in the intervention com...
